Bansh-eman Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) for future ref. if your putting a pingle on an ims tank (should also be same for stock) the plastic that seperates the two valves, for the on and reserve positions on your tank... get s razor blade and cut that part straight down... if you messure the gasket it fit a 1/2 inch drill bit perfect. i went one size smaller and use that to clean up the inside of the plastic to smooth out where the razor didnt reach well... took some gas and rinsed out the tank of any loose plastic... now take the pingle base and screw it on the valve... make sure when you seperate the two you leave it facing the right direction of how it will mount on your tank so when you tighten the valve into the base your pingle lines up right... once you decide where it will stop( be sure you dont tighten it much because your going to add thread tape and that will keep it from turning as much once you tighten it down) remove the valve from the base , keeping the base facing the correct direction place the gasket on the tank and screw the base down... now holding the valve with the screen facing you wrap your threads 2-3 time with thread tape clock wise... make ure you dont go off the threads and into the tank as much as you can...smooth out the tape on the threads and tighten the valve down... once you get to where it should aline it should stop just shy of where you hand tightened it before becasue of the thread tape.. grab a rag and wrap your valve.. you can use a wrench or like i did just hands and turn the valve the rest of the way to line it up... fits good and doesnt have much area opened to leak as origanaly thought....

That's a good write up. :thumbsup: It takes a bit of thought to get a Pingel on right the first time and not have it leak. I wish I would remember that every time I get one of them. :: Quote
Animalman294 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Yeah, nice write up I think I am going to get one of those for my cub, along with the larger bowls. I don't want to lean it out because it sucks the bowls dry. I just wish the bowls and the pingel weren't so damn expensive............ Quote

Hell man you already spent 2G's on the cubby and all the goodies that have to go along with it (mabye more) what the hell is 79.99 on top of that? I dont have a cub yet and I went ahead and got one just for good measure. Mostly because my stock pet cock was junk and leaking all over the place. I cant wait till i get a cub.

When you approach the Pingel dual feed valve from the prime position and reach out to actuate it with your main finger, which way is on? Left or Right? I know it's a silly question, but I am trying to use one of these things for something else and I do not have a way to verify the info. :geek: I'll explain the prime postion and main finger thing later. :biggrin: Quote
Bansh-eman Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Posted July 24, 2007 im not 100% but i looked at mine the other day when changing it out. looking down at it from sitting on the bike... counter clockwise is off Quote
